Yes, I have the exact same problem in addition to /bin/rpm dumping core
on randomly selected packages. I sent a description to the list earlier
but it hasn't shown up yet.
Here is the earlier message. I'm not attaching the strace again, but it's
available upon request.
Help!!! I think I messed something up, but I can't figure
out what's wrong. Any suggestions?
[root@rocks RPMS]# rpm --rebuilddb
[root@rocks RPMS]# ls zlib-*
zlib-1.1.3-11mdk.i586.rpm zlib-devel-1.1.3-11mdk.i586.rpm
[root@rocks RPMS]# rpm -Uvh zlib*
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@rocks RPMS]# rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.0-10mdk
[root@rocks RPMS]# strace rpm -Uvh zlib* &>/tmp/aaa
The strace is attached in gzip format
The same happens with many other packages, but not all.
Looks like rpm dies on a read!?!?
Thanks!
